Jan Caeyers

The Olympic Concert

Elbphilharmonie

After the opening tour of their »Beethoven 27« project in November 2024, Jan Caeyers and the orchestra he founded, Le Concert Olympique, will return to the Elbphilharmonie together with Kit Armstrong. Jan Caeyers, a recognised Beethoven specialist, has set himself a special goal with the »Beethoven 27« project, which will run for several years: With 27 works from the pen of the great composer, he wants to build bridges to the 27 member states of the European Union. As in all concerts of the BEETHOVEN27 project, Kit Armstrong will open the concert with a prelude and fugue from Bach’s Well-Tempered Piano. This is not only a reference to the important significance this iconic piano music had for Beethoven, but also serves as an opening ritual to get musicians and audience in the right mood.
